THE FIRST SENSI-REGULATOR SymSitive® 1609 A NEW ERA FOR SENSITIVE SKIN & SCALP DERMATOLOGISTS are now saying that many cases of irritation or sensitive skin are due to hyperactive or over-stimulated nerves. SymSitive® 1609 helps skin to be more resistant against stressors & improves life quality. BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN. SymSitive® 1609 wins the 2010 BSB Innovation Prize Symrise's soothing ingredient SymSitive® 1609 took home the first prize in the category of “Innovative raw materials: naturals/actives.” The world's fourth-largest fragrance and flavoring manufacturer has once again demonstrated its innovative abilities, having repeatedly won other prizes in previous years as well. The award was presented on April 14th during this year's In-Cosmetics trade fair in Paris. SymSitive® 1609 is Symrise's newest product launch in the field of ingredients for sensitive skin. SymSitive® 1609 soothes by minimizing hypersensitivity reactions of the skin. As shown in a clinical study with 20 subjects, the substance has a significant impact on burning and stinging. Using SymSitive® 1609 directly lowered Capsaicin-induced stinging and burning below the sensory threshold and immediately had a strong soothing effect on the skin. There is a clearly defined need for effective ingredients which soothe the skin. Harmful environmental factors, stress, fatigue and other influences mean that more and more people have problems with sensitive skin. Véronique Maurin, Global Product Director of Cosmetics Ingredients, said of the award, “Developing new concepts and strategies in the field of cosmetic ingredients is one of Symrise's core competences. SymSitive® 1609 is the result of this research activity. The award is also a reflection of our close and productive cooperation with our partners, BRAIN AG and AnalytiCon Discovery GmbH.” Since 2003, the BSB Innovation Prize has been awarded annually by Beratungs- and Servicebüro Dr. Riedel. The winners are selected by an independent, international jury consisting of prestigious representatives of the cosmetics industry (including Unilever, La Prairie Group, Procter & Gamble, Mibelle Cosmetics). 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol + Capsaicin Capsaicin 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol + Capsaicin Capsaicin
